2012 Boat Race betting specials – Oxford favourites to win

Oxford are the 2/5 favourites with Ladbrokes to claim another Boat Race victory

Oxford are solid odds-on favourites to retain their Boat Race crown according to Ladbrokes.

The bookies make the dark blues 2/5 favourites from rivals Cambridge (15/8 outsiders). As ever the dead heat is a huge outsider at 200/1.

Oxford look likely to win inside two and three quarter lengths at 5/2 while Cambridge are 8/1 to win by three lengths or more. It's 16/1 either crew sink and a huge 250/1 that both crews sink before completing the course.

It's 16/1 that a new fastest time is set and 33/1 that the long-standing slowest time record (set in 1860) is broken.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: "We're keeping Oxford firmly on our side. They're the early odds-on favourites and we expect them to attract some chunky bets as the week goes on."

He added: "Every year we build up six-figure liability on both boats going down. If it happens it's safe to say our ship will sink as well."
